Education, 2020 First-Year Engineering Students’ Interpretation of Curiosity in the Entrepreneurial Mindset Through Reflective PracticeAbstractThis study explores how first-year engineering students interpret Curiosity, one of the 3Cs of anEntrepreneurial Mindset, when they write about themselves as learners. In 2005, the Kern familyestablished the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a network of 45 schoolsdedicated to instituting an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students.From this EM, three main concepts were developed for success: Curiosity, Connections, andCreating Value, otherwise known as the 3Cs. Previous research regarding EM and reflectivepractices in an undergraduate engineering
research involves design education pedagogy, including formative assessment of client-student interactions, modeling sources of engineering design constraints, and applying the entrepreneurial mindset to first-year programming projects through student engagement in educational software development. Estell earned his BS in Computer Science and Engineering degree from The University of Toledo and both his MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 “EMbedding” the KEEN Framework: An Assessment Plan for Measuring ABET Student Outcomes and Entrepreneurial

engineering faculty working to unleashundergraduate engineers so that they can create personal, economic, and societal value throughthe entrepreneurial mindset, The Ohio State University added multiple entrepreneurial mindedlearning (EML) elements to an existing first-year course. This paper represents the assessmentfindings from the spring 2019 implementation of the new curriculum.MethodsA mixed methods quasi-experimental investigation was used to assess student learning and EMLcompetencies. Students self-selected enrollment (72 capacity) in either one of 8 sections of theIntegrated Transportation System (ITS) course or one of 8 sections of the Advanced EnergyVehicle (AEV) course (control group). The ITS sections were the EML integrated
engineering education.While the importance of learning from failure is often repeated in the literature, this articlehighlights a glaring lack of research on the topic within the context of engineering education, andpedagogical approaches that are being used to attempt to teach students these concepts.Keywords: Engineering Education, Entrepreneurship, Failure, Systematic ReviewIntroductionUniversity entrepreneurship programs and curriculum have greatly expanded over the pastdecade, with an increasing number of curricular and co-curricular programs dedicated toentrepreneurship often housed within engineering colleges. The foci of these programs rangefrom teaching basic foundational skills and the entrepreneurial mindset required throughout
the last decade. These practices have often beeninitiated, supported, and disseminated via the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network(KEEN), which has focused on students developing curiosity about the world around them,connecting information from a variety of sources to guide in analysis, and creating products thatprovide value to stakeholders. In the College of Engineering at Rowan University we havesought to strategically develop the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students by building inEML principles – namely the KEEN 3C’s of Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value – intoexisting and new first and second-year design projects.This full paper describes one such first-year project that leverages EML and Universal
path for classes similar to this.Students are exposed to applications of the material instead of collecting and analyzing signalsfor the sole purpose of a class assignment. Students are given flexibility in their experimentaldesigns which allows for creativity and curiosity. By proposing an additional application,students also appreciate how to create value.References[1] T. J. Kriewall and K. Mekemson, “Instilling the Entrepreneurial Mindset IntoEngineering”.

Forexample, students showed gains in various EML skills when engaged in modules related tofailure analysis case studies such as the Hyatt Regency Hotel Walkway Collapse [7]. Similargains were demonstrated when students conducted market research for a fictitious companylooking to locate a new fabrication facility near growing population centers [7].It should be noted that BME courses, in particular, present a unique opportunity to leverage thebenefits of EML.

was expanded into a more elaborate semester-long project that addedmakerspace visits and an essay where students reflected upon the opportunities these spacesmight offer to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset. Student surveys captured attitudes about theproject and the university making facilities, and indicated that a large majority of the studentswere more likely to use the making facilities in the future because of the semester project.Student reflective essays also indicated that the students believed that making spaces addedenormous value to the university and supported cultivation of the entrepreneurial mindset,specifically promoting curiosity, making connections, and creating value.The “Teams Teaching Engineering” project may provide
’ entrepreneurial mindset. Purzer, Fila and Nataraja provide a review of assessment methods in engineeringentrepreneurship education [2]. Most studies on the general assessment of an entrepreneurialmindset (EM) have been based on personality instruments that were not specifically designed toassess EM. An extensive literature review and a new measure of EM—the EntrepreneurialMindset Profile—is presented by Davis, Hall and Mayer [3]. A survey instrument to assess EMspecifically tailored around the KEEN Framework was developed by Li, et al. [4] andBrunhaver, et al. [5]. These types assessments of EM are indirect measures based on surveyinstruments. If these are to be used to assess EM growth resulting from curricular or co-curricular intervention, then
ways. First, cards were sought foreach full participant, and their presence or absence was noted. Second, the presence of outcomesrelated to the physical creation of a prototype were tallied. Finally, the text description of theclass activity was read for activities related to making and then grouped according to emergentthemes. For comparison,10 randomly selected “Exemplar” Cards by faculty who have notattended these workshops were subject to the same analysis. Exemplar cards are a subset ofthose published on the website judged by website curators to be of exceptionally high quality interms of writing, pedagogy, and expression of entrepreneurial-mindset and representing a widevariety of disciplines, projects, and approaches.

While Simmons et al do not list the development of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM), anengineering competition is potentially a rich environment in which students can acquire EM. Forexample, the ASME Human-Powered Vehicle Challenge describes the nature of the challenge inthis way: Human-powered transport is often the only type available in underdeveloped or inaccessible parts of the world, and if well designed, can be an increasingly viable form of sustainable transportation.
